James Buckley and Joe Thomas, known for their roles in *The Inbetweeners*, have humorously portrayed Oasis members Liam and Noel Gallagher in a sketch for Comic Relief. The parody, called “Oasis: The Reunion: The Movie,” aired on BBC One on March 21. The sketch highlights the band's dramatic breakup in 2009 and their unlikely reunion, which was humorously linked to their financial struggles. In the film, Noel finds out he is broke and is prompted by his accountant to patch things up with Liam to earn "big money." As they attempt to reconnect, they bicker over their setlist and reach out to various celebrities for help. In one scene, Piers Morgan makes a cameo as “the ticket master,” poking fun at Oasis' controversial ticket pricing issues from last year. The sketch also features a fan waiting in a long ticket queue, humorously depicted as turning into a skeleton before completing their purchase. Reactions to the sketch have been mixed. Some viewers praised it as “brilliant” and “lowkey funny,” while others criticized it as one of the worst comedic segments in Comic Relief history. The original Oasis band members are set to reunite for a tour, and they have been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside other famous acts. Despite the accolades, Liam Gallagher has expressed disdain for the honor, calling it “for wankers.”
